2016 Colorado Caucus

The 2016 Colorado Caucus is part of the Super Tuesday lineup on March 1. I’ll be updating the results here on election night as the returns come in. On this page, you’ll also find information on how on many delegates are at stake and how each party awards them.

Caucus Type
The Colorado caucus is closed. Only registered Democrats may participate in the Democratic caucus, and only registered Republicans in the Republican caucus. Moreover, voters must be registered by January 5 to be eligible.

Delegate Award MethodologyDemocrats
Pledged delegates (66) are awarded proportionally based on statewide and district level vote totals. A 15% threshold is in place for all delegates. This means that a candidate must win at least 15% of the vote at a caucus site to earn votes towards pledged delegates. Colorado is also allocated 13 superdelegates which are not pledged based on the caucus outcome.

Republicans
Twenty-one of Colorado’s 37 delegates are chosen at district conventions in Colorado Springs on April 8. Thirteen delegates are chosen at the state convention on Saturday, April 9. The remaining three delegates will consist of the Colorado national committeeman, the Colorado national committeewoman and the chairman of the Colorado Republican Party.
